To all whom it may concern:

is it known that I, OnAzIo Loco, a, citizen of the United States, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electric Motors end Dynumoiliachincs, of which the following 18 a. SPQC-lfifiittiOD.

My invention relates to a method and improvements in converting electrical energy necting it to several segments of a. stationary commutator provided with a revolving brush; and my invention still further consists in connecting one end of each revolving electronmgnet coil in multiple arcwith other similar ends and dividing the opposite end of the some coil and connecting it to several segments of a revolving commutator provided with astation- :iry brush, by means of which only one segment of ouch commutator is in contact with its connectors at one time, thus forminga meiallic circuit only through two electro-n1ng-- neis (one stationary and one revolving) at a lime, and when the electric current is passing ih rough the helices of the two electroinagnets and their opposite poles are almost in front of each other or entering the stronger field of forcc,o btuining either motion from electricity or generating a current by the application of mechanical energy to the machine, as hereinaftr described and claimed. I-attain these objects by the organization illustrated in the accompanying drawings and diagrams, in which -Fignre l is,u side elevation of the machine; Fig. 2, an end view; Fig. 3, a view of the other end. Fig. 4 represents the revolving commutator with one end of each coil of the revolving e'lectro-mugnets connected to several corresponding segments ,of the commutator. Fig. 5 represents the stationary commutator with (N0 model.)

one end of each coil of the stationary field electro-mognets connected to several correspending segments of the commutator. Figs.

6, 7, and 8 are vertical sections of the machine as it appears after removal of the commutatorbrush and cross-bar, each view showing a different number of electro'magnct combinations.

Fig. ll is a diagram showing the theoretical connections of t e combination represented in Figs. 1, 2,3, and 8. Figs. 9 and lO-uro diagrains with connections of combinations represented in Figs. 6 and 7.

Similar letters and numbers refer to similar 6 parts throughout the several views.

F F are stationary electro-magnets, having elongated pole-piecespp, fastened to standards 01' supports S S, made of brass or other diamagnetic metal, in order magnetically to inyo sulato their polar ends.

M M are revolving electro-ma-gnets, having elongated polepieces p, fastened to brass plates 3 3, said brass plates being made fast to the shaft 11, to which is also fastened the re:

volving commutator, the segments or plates of which are insulated from the shaft.

A. A are brass cross-bars formingthe'beon ing for the shaft.

C is a stationary commutator fastened to the brass cross bar A, and insulated from it and the sh aft 0;.

B is the revolving brush, the arm of which is in metallic connection with the shaft a, and

B is the stationary brush, the arm of which is insulated from the rest of the machine, but connected by wire V-to one pole of the battery b (when the machine is used as a motor.) W' W are insulated wires coming through the shaft, connecting one end of the coils of the 90.

revolving elcctro-magnets M with the revolving coinmutator-segments, as shown in diegram in Fig. 4. w w are insulated wires counocting one end of the coils of the stationary electromagnets F with the stationary comnnr 5 tator-segments, as shown in diagram at Fig. 5. 1) represents an electrical generator, and R a rheostat.

In order to better describe the operation which takes place whenthe machine is used I00 as a motor, I will refer to Figs. 1, 4, 5, 8, and 11,:1s follows: The current enters from battery I), Fig. 1, through wire 21, passes to stationary brush B, revolving commutator-segment 1,

revolution and the brushes will be placed in contact with, for examp'le the commutator segments 2 anti 2, Fig. 11, and the two polepieces p p, at each end of the electro-magnets F, and M, opposite each other.- Now the current enters at commutator segment 2, passes to clectro-magnet-coil M, to brass plate 8, where one end of each revolving coil is connected in multiple arc,) to the shalt a. to revolving brush B, to'stationary commutator-segment 2 by wire 10, through the coil of stationary electro-magnet F", and out to the other pole of the battery b. -Thus the armature will be moved another one-twentieth part of its revolution, and the next movement will beeflected by the polarization of electro-magnets F M, and so on, as shown in Fig. 11, with 'F Mf, F M, F M, F M213 M, F 'M". F Mfl-F" M, F M,

and F M, making, therefore, twenty separate polarizations ormagnetic circuits in one revolution, thus obtaining power from electricity in the most economical manner kuowmasthe.

motorwhen'so organized receives the whole current only through two electro-mugnets ata time out of the nine composing the 1nachine,'-

thereby consuming a greater or less amount oft-he current, according to the power the motorexerts'or to the speed at which it is running with a given eletro-motive force.

The machinecan also be used as amotor when-on] y thefixed electro-magnets are acted upon by the current, the revolving electromagnets serving then as a soft-iron armature,

orvice versa. The revolving electro magnets may be polarized and the fixed not; but this manner-of operating the motor is not economical unless it is desired tomary the power of the motor; The power of the motormay be varied in different ways-by introducing a rheostat in the circuit, as shownat R in Fig.

i 1, or a number of cells may be thrown in and outot' circuit byswitches in any well-known manner.

In Fig.9 is shown in diagram a combination of seven fixed and four revolving electro-magne'ts. It'willbe noticed that while the numbers of the revolving commutator-segments are continuous up to the number of the revolv ing electroemagnets, the numbers ofthe stationary commutator-segments arenot continuous.i. e., they pass every next one,1 3 5 7 2 4 6 1, and soon, as shown in'section at Fig. 6. When the pole-pieces l and 1 have made make, the next will be 3 and 2, the next after 5 and 3, and so on until twenty-eight magnetic makes will be madeduring one revotion of the armature.

' Figs. 7 and 10 represent another combinaarmature is comt-ion, in which the revolving In this posed of only three eleetro-mag'nets.

case, while the polarization of the electro-inagets is in the same direction, the rotating mo -tion of the armature is in the opposite direction-e. g when 1 and l have made amake2 and 2 will he the next, so that while the-po- -larization is against thehands of a watch the armature moves'in the same direction of the hands of a ,watch,'o'r both'operations vice versa.

In Figs. 9, 10, and -11 is shown one eudof each coi l of the fixed electro-magnets connected in multiple arc, and also one end of each coil of the revolving electro-inagnets connected by themselves in' another. common connection, and the other ends of each coil are divided and connected to several segments of their own commutator.

When the, machine is to be'used-as an elec- '8 5 tricalgenerator, the battery I) 'is dispensed with and motion may be applied to itiu well-. known manner. e

What Iclaim..as.-my .invention.is v g In an electric motor' or dynamo-machine, a seriesots tat-ionary eleclro-inagnet's,-a series ofrevolving electro-inagnets, one having an uneven number and the 4 other an even number, the two series being arranged concentrically and parallel with each-other, a stationary com: mutator to the's'egments of which the coils of the fixed series are connected at one end, a common or multiples-arc conn'ection. for the other ends of the coils of said series, a revolving brush for saidcommutator, a revolving commutator to the segmentsof which the coils of the revolving series are connected at one end, a common connection for the other; ends of the coils of said revolving-series, and'a stationary brush' for said revolving commutator, whereby the current is directed through the coils of one ICO stationary-and one -.re volviug el-ectro-magnet and the said electro-magnets form a closed magnetic circuit, this action taking place in p'i-oper sequence, so that each stationary electremag'n'et-makes a closemagnetic circuit with each revolving-electro'magnet .onceduring each revolution.
